Perfect record for Iran
AFC - Iran put the gloss on their impressive 2012 AFC U-19 Championship qualifying campaign with a 2-0 win over fellow qualifiers Uzbekistan on Tuesday that saw the Group C hosts finish top of the table with four wins out of four.
Ahmad Abdollahzadeh opened the scoring in the 24th minute before second-half substitute Sardar Azmoun sealed the win in the 57th minute, three minutes after coming on to replace fellow forward Behnam Barzay.
In Tuesday's earlier fixture at the Takhti Stadium a Bilawal-Ur-Rehman first-half double saw Pakistan defeat neighbours India 2-1 to end their unsuccessful campaign on a positive note.
The midfielder scored in the 31st and 43rd minutes and while Jonychand Singh Thounaojam reduced the deficit eight minutes after the interval it was not enough to prevent Pakistan from picking up their first win of the qualifiers.
